D’you ever notice…
I switched shampoos yesterday (nothing frou-frou, just a 2-in-1 so I don’t have to separately shampoo and condition – I am lazy) and I was suddenly struck by the strangeness of keeping hair. It’s mostly dead, you know. So that would mean I just spent the last two minutes of my lunch hour stroking, smelling, and caressing a tuft of The Dead that is sprouting from my very head.
And now that I have that down in print, it seems a whole lot weirder…
Cultural literacy
Every time I go to a public restroom, I appreciate how difficult it would be for a robot to live in a human world. Does the faucet turn side to side, or up and down? Are there two different ones for hot and cold, or just the one with a dial? Is it motion-activated, or manual? Soap: do you pump in, pump down, or pump up? And how do you like it: foamy, creamy, watery? Hand towels or blowers? If hand towels, are they dispensed manually, or is it motion-activated? If dispensed manually, do you pull down or do you turn the crank and tear or do you push down on the level until it dispenses the desired amount of paper towel or do you pull down on the twisted paper towel in front of you?
Sometimes I wonder if I’m part robot or if it’s just the world that’s freakin’ nuts.
